Fifty Shades Darker

Image via imdb.com
I know I'm a few weeks late but I just saw Fifty Shades Darker. I'm a huge fan of the Fifty Shades Trilogy and I was really excited to see the second installment, Fifty Shades Darker. I feel like the movies are for those who read the books, even though the books were way better, I don't think I would have enjoyed the movie that much if I didn't read the books. The first movie ended with Ana breaking up with Christian and 15 minutes into Fifty Shades Darker, she gets back with him. Ana's boss at the Publishing Firm, Jack Hyde (Eric Johnson) tries to get his way with Ana and Christian gets him fired. Elena/Mrs Robinson (Kim Basinger) tells Ana that Christian is not the one for her, but Ana angrily tells her that he has turned over a new leaf. The funniest part about this movie which they totally got wrong was the helicopter scene. It was so obvious that they were in a green room. I laughed so hard after watching that scene. Couldn't they have made it look better than that? Christian is still having nightmares from his childhood and Leila, one of his subs starts stalking Ana. She tries to shoot Ana but Christian is able to get her to give him the gun by simply saying a few words, she kneels before him. This creeps Ana out and she runs out of her house. Leila looked like she was picked out of a horror movie.

Christian proposes to Ana and she accepts to the delight of everyone, especially Christian's mother. As the credits roll, there's a snippet of the next movie Fifty Shades Freed. Fifty Shades Darker got so many bad reviews, and even though it was a box office success, I still haven't seen any good reviews. It wasn't a fantastic movie but it was okay. Maybe if they didn't stick to every single word used in the book, they would have had better dialogues. I wasn't excited about Jamie Dornan playing Christian Grey but I'm starting to get used to him but I would have still preferred Sons of Anarchy's Charlie Hunnam. Dakota Johnson is so perfect as Ana, I can't even imagine someone else in that role. The movie ends with Jack burning a cigarette into Christian's face on a picture. Maybe In the next movie, they should consider people that didn't read the book instead of having a narrow mind about their audience. It's important to have read the book to fully enjoy and understand this movie. In the books, the characters got away with so many things especially the dialogue but it would have been a bit different with the movie. Nevertheless, I enjoyed Fifty Shades Darker and I'm looking forward to Fifty Shades Freed which comes out February 2018.

Goodbye Mike & Rachel- Suits' Seventh Season Finale Review

  Suits is one of my favorite Legal Drama's and for some reason, I'm still very invested in the show after 7 seasons. I don't think they've had any bad season and they've done such a great job with the growth and development of the major characters but the time to say goodbye to Mike and Rachel was finally here. Due to the fact that Meghan Markle would be getting married to Prince Harry, I guess it was a good time to wrap up her love story with Mike and they do this with the fairy tale wedding we've all been waiting for. Mike and Rachel have been an item since the first season and have been engaged since the fifth. They would have been married a season ago but were not able to because of Mike's time in prison. I always loved their chemistry and I was so sad to see them say goodbye and more than anything, I loved Mike and Harvey's relationship. It was so genuine and pure. The two final episodes of the final season of Suits aired back to back and...

"Don't Tell Mama"- The Shocking Sharp Objects Season Finale

   Sharp Objects easily tops the list of my all time favorite TV Series. The HBO Limited Series aired it eight and final episode last night and it's something I'll probably never forget. I'm trying so hard to find the right words to describe this amazing show and the phenomenal acting from Amy Adams, Patricia Clarkson and Eliza Scanlen. They were just too perfect. Throughout the season, we've all been trying to figure out who the killer was in this whodunnit and I had so many theories. I never believed it was John Keene because most times, it's always the person you least expect that'll end up being the perpetrator. My first suspect was Alan (Henry Czerny), Adora's husband and Amma's father. I thought the only reason he would venture out to killing teenage girls was due to the fact that he was no longer as had a bond with his daughter and his loveless marriage but I was so wrong. Then I thought it was the Police Chief, Bill who was in cahoots with Ado...

Chicago Justice: Series Premiere/Crossover Episode-"Fake"

Image via imdb.com I looked forward to seeing Chicago Justice after it was announced because I love the One Chicago universe even though I'm yet to see the other shows, i'm very familiar with their stories and characters. I'm a crazy fan of Chicago PD so I'm going to binge watch all the episodes of Chicago Fire, but I don't think I'll be able to see Chicago Med. Medical shows are too emotional for me. With Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, I don't know where to start from, but I'll binge watch from season one to eighteen whenever I can for sure.  The four part crossover started with an episode on Chicago Fire and concluded in the season premiere of Chicago Justice. There is a fire at a warehouse and the Chicago Fire crew think it's an accident but Severide (Taylor Kinney) finds metal wedges shoved under the door which means whoever started the fire wanted everyone trapped inside, so its arson.
